Chapter 480

It was just that the opportunities and treasures in Wu Feng’s Grocery Shop were not only numerous but also extremely rare, and some even involved the Great Dao.

Precisely because of this, the exchange points required to redeem such treasures were enormous.

So in this situation, many cultivators in the Primordial World, now that the Journey to the West Great Calamity was about to begin, were weighing the gains of the Liaozhai world mission against the gains of participating in the Journey to the West Great Calamity.

Therefore, depending on the cultivator and their situation, some believed that participating in the Liaozhai world mission would yield greater gains, while others believed that participating in the Journey to the West Great Calamity would be more profitable.

Based on this situation, cultivators who believed that participating in the Journey to the West Great Calamity would yield greater gains would naturally give up on entering the Liaozhai world to complete the mission.

After all, once they entered the Liaozhai world, if it took too long, it would inevitably lead to them missing out on participating in the Journey to the West Great Calamity.

Now, with the change in the Journey to the West Great Calamity, the biggest beneficiary would naturally not be the West, so every cultivator in the Primordial World now had the opportunity to become a Saint; it was merely a matter of the probability of obtaining this opportunity.

It was also because of the uncertainty of time that Saint Tongtian, although interested in this special mission, did not have the slightest thought of entering the Liaozhai world to complete it.

After all, Saint Tongtian was already a Saint; such opportunities should naturally be left to cultivators whose cultivation bases were still at the Taiyi Golden Immortal or Da Luo Golden Immortal levels.

Besides, Saint Tongtian also hoped to use this Journey to the West Great Calamity to comprehend the Great Dao and thus break through to the Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Golden Immortal realm.

"If that's really the case, then I'm afraid there won't be too many cultivators participating in the Liaozhai world this time. After all, compared to the current Journey to the West Great Calamity, this Liaozhai world, if not for the appearance of a special mission, probably doesn't have anything special."

"It is precisely because of the existence of this special mission that I'm afraid the vast majority of cultivators will choose to go into seclusion and wait for the start of the Journey to the West Great Calamity."

Fairy Yunxiao nodded at this moment, and while following Zhao Gongming’s words, she also provided a supplementary explanation for this statement.

"That's fine too; after all, with fewer people, the probability of us obtaining this mission will be higher!"

Zhao Gongming had a very indifferent attitude toward this.

It was not that Zhao Gongming looked down on the Journey to the West Great Calamity; on the contrary, this attitude was enough to show that Zhao Gongming attached great importance to the Journey to the West Great Calamity.

After all, Zhao Gongming had personally participated in the Investiture of the Gods Great Calamity, and the final outcome was that he ended up on the Investiture of the Gods list; even with the protection of his Saint teacher Tongtian, he could not escape that calamity.

Now, the Journey to the West Great Calamity had changed; not only was there the Westward Journey arranged by the West, but there was also the Eastward Journey arranged by the Heavenly Court, and behind this, there were even traces of the Lich Clan’s revival.

Just looking at what was on the surface, Zhao Gongming was very clear about one point: the Investiture of the Gods Great Calamity could not compare to the current Journey to the West Great Calamity.

Zhao Gongming had fallen during the Investiture of the Gods Great Calamity, so now, facing the even more terrifying Journey to the West Great Calamity, he naturally had no intention of participating.

Of course, it was not that Zhao Gongming was afraid of death, but that Wu Feng’s Grocery Shop had appeared in the Primordial World.

As long as there were enough exchange points, let alone a Saint, even a Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Golden Immortal could break through.

So in this situation, Zhao Gongming would rather spend a lot of time slowly accumulating exchange points to improve his strength than participate in a Great Calamity again.

After all, for a cultivator of Zhao Gongming’s level, time was the least valuable thing.

Of course, if Wu Feng’s Grocery Shop did not exist, facing the current Journey to the West Great Calamity, no matter how dangerous it was, Zhao Gongming would not give up.

Because the current Journey to the West Great Calamity contained the opportunity to attain the Dao and become a Saint.

On the other side, at Mount Huaguo.

Sun Wukong and the other three suddenly felt that this mission was within reach, and for a moment, they were very excited.

Unlike others in the Primordial World, Sun Wukong and his group of four detested the Journey to the West Great Calamity.

After all, whether it was the *Wukong Zhuan* or *Journey to the West*, both recorded how the four of them were schemed against and used on this path of seeking scriptures in the West.

So in this situation, expecting them to have any good feelings about the Westward Journey, or even to participate in it, was basically impossible.

Besides, previously, Sun Wukong and his group of four had watched Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Three Pure Ones, and others take action and earn a large number of exchange points.

To say that the four of them had no thoughts about it would be impossible.

But hindered by their own strength, Sun Wukong and the other three could only watch these missions longingly.

But now it was different; the mission before them was one that all four of them could participate in with their strength.

The only problem was that it was limited to three people, which meant that no matter how lucky Sun Wukong and the others were, one person would not be able to participate.

As for the matters concerning the Journey to the West Great Calamity that many cultivators in the Primordial World were coveting?

Not to mention how much Sun Wukong and the other three detested the Journey to the West Great Calamity, just the fact that they, the protagonists of the Journey to the West Great Calamity, were missing meant it was debatable whether the Journey to the West Great Calamity could even start.

"Hey, Monkey Brother, it seems this Liaozhai world mission will witness which one of us four is the unlucky one."

Tianpeng said this with a feigned relaxed, even joking tone.

After all, this Liaozhai world mission was limited to three people; no matter what, there was a possibility that one of them, or even all of them, would be left out.

So at this moment, Tianpeng’s words served to liven up the atmosphere.

For a moment, the four, who had been somewhat silent, were amused by Tianpeng’s words.

"You fool, I think this unlucky one will definitely be you."

Sun Wukong also unceremoniously retorted to Tianpeng.

"Hehe, that's not necessarily true."

Tianpeng looked at Sun Wukong with a smile.

And after this, Jin Chanzi and General Rolling Curtain also joined the discussion.

It was precisely when Sun Wukong and his group were joking around that a Quasi-Saint aura suddenly appeared at Mount Huaguo.

Sun Wukong and the others felt no strangeness toward this aura; in fact, it could be said they were very familiar with it.

This aura belonged to Ksitigarbha.

"Greetings, Senior Ksitigarbha!"

Sun Wukong was the first to stand up to welcome him after sensing Ksitigarbha’s aura.

One must know that for Sun Wukong, although Ksitigarbha did not have the kindness of Patriarch Bodhi in preaching and resolving doubts,

he had also helped and guided Sun Wukong quite a bit, for which Sun Wukong was naturally very grateful.

Although Ksitigarbha had come uninvited again this time, Sun Wukong was not only not disgusted but actually very happy.
